Jerry has been hanging up his own kind of fishing records for years. Last summer at the Wisconsin State Fair, he hooked ten in ten minutes (prize: a week's vacation). In last year's Sentinel show he won a $2,500 log cabin (which he traded to an uncle for a 1951 Ford convertible), plus a week's canoe trip and another vacation at a northern Wisconsin resort where he and a pal caught 72 wall-eyed pike in 3½ days...
Garishly colored taxis now park in Harvard Square where horses and chaises once waited for the end of Sunday meeting. Established in 1632 on the site now occupied by Lehman Hall, the first Puritan meeting house was little more than a log cabin. Cambridge itself had been settled only two years before as a "fortified place." Since the meeting house had no bell, the congregation gathered to the roll of a drum. The sober Elders later were able to buy a bell, but their jubilation was short-lived. For Thomas Hooker, their pastor, migrated to Connecticut, leaving only eleven families...

Shih's friends cannot get him a boat, but they find him a log. One chill autumn night, an offshore wind blowing and the tide ebbing, Shih drifts with his log back toward Matsu and the territory of Free China...
When the bill moved to the House floor, the protectionists of both parties-in revolt against the official leadership of both parties-had their strategy mapped: they would try to kill the closed rule and open the bill to crippling, log-rolling amendments. West Virginia's Bailey led off: "Mr. Speaker, once again the duly elected members of the House find themselves under a threat of an undemocratic and un-American gag-rule procedure." The House seats began to fill up. Republican Leader Joe Martin slouched back in his place, a forefinger pushed up on his temple. Beside...
Until World War II, Ranger McCullough's duties were mainly janitorial. He fought fires, built roads and telephone lines, kept a sharp eye out for log rustlers, and was lonely and bored during the long winters. By the early 19405 the ancient European practice of tree farming and sustained-yield forest crops had infiltrated the U.S. consciousness. The colleges were turning out eager young foresters who were more interested in timber management than in sparing the old pine tree...
